The following corrections were made on January 22, 2019:
Mannan was identified as the "ex-president, co-founder and publisher of Roopban," replacing "editor of Roopban".
It was indicated that Mahbub and Mannan were murdered in Mannan's apartment, not Mahbub's apartment.
The original version of this dispatch stated that “Hong Kong’s chief executive, Carrie Lam, has not responded to Human Rights Watch’s letters raising these two cases.” Human Rights Watch only wrote one letter to Lam mentioning these two cases, to which her office did not reply. The corrected version now states that “Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Carrie Lam has not responded to Human Rights Watch concerns about the two cases.”
November 26, 2018: A previous version of this joint release incorrectly stated that the number of non-Syrian refugees deported by General Security during 2018 was eight. The actual number of non-Syrian refugees deported by General Security during 2018 is seven.
This dispatch has been updated to correct Arash Sadeghi’s age.
18 October 2018: An earlier version of this press release misspelled the name of the Qabrikha Deputy Mayor. The current version has been updated with the correct spelling.
This news release has been corrected to ammend the number of adults killed and wounded in the market for whom Human Rights Watch had documented full identifying information. The number of people who were killed and whose information we documented remains the same, at 34.
An earlier version of this news release misspelled the names of Abdolreza Kouhpayeh and Payam Derafshan.
An earlier version of this article stated that 422 members of the White Helmets were evacuated. It has been updated to reflect that this number includes both White Helmets and their relatives.
An earlier version of this news release did not name the Beirut-based rights group, Legal Agenda.
On June 28, 2018, Human Rights Watch published a press release entitled, “Pakistan: Ensure Ahmadi Voting Rights” (https://www.hrw.org/news/2018/06/28/pakistan-ensure-ahmadi-voting-rights). We regret that due to an editing error the press release reproduced passages without attribution in the law review article by Amjad Mahmood Khan, entitled, “Persecution of the Ahmadiyya Community in Pakistan: An Analysis Under International Law and International Relations,” published in the Harvard Human Rights Journal in 2003. Human Rights Watch cited this article in its 2005 report, “Breach of Faith: Persecution of the Ahmadiyya Community in Bangladesh,” but when the passage was reproduced for the June 28 press release the footnote was not included.
